CentOS 5 :: Custom Iptables: Remove The Existing Iptables First?
Apr 28, 2009
To expand: I'm trying to set up a box with l7-filter, and I need to patch and compile iptables 1.4.1.1 as part of the process. I ./configured it with the prefix= argument so it would install into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin, and I did a yum remove iptables before installing it so as not to get in the way of the original iptables, but I'm wondering if this is really necessary - it's kind of annoying, because removing the original iptables removes the init.d script, deregisters the service, etc. If I don't, is it possible that iptables 1.4.1.1 might get overwritten in a system update or something, or will yum see that I've got a custom/newer version in there and leave it be?

I am unable to restore my iptables from iptables-save after upgrading Fedora. I cannot get iptables-restore to work, and I have resorted to entering rules manually using the GUI.

I recently installed a new Ubuntu PC that runs iptables and PSAD. I had the same script on another Ubuntu PC, but when I copied the script onto the new PC, I got this error. I don't remember where I found the tutorial for this, all I know is that this is the script (Edited for my usage):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Script to check important ports on remote webserver
# Copyright (c) 2009 blogama.org
# This script is licensed under GNU GPL version 2.0 or above

Safe.txt contains:

192.168.1.8
192.168.1.1

192.168.0.1
And the error message generated is:
Code:

I am running Ubuntu server 10.10 and trying to setup iptables rules in /etc/if-up.d/iptables
Quote:
root@host# cat /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables
#!/bin/sh -e
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Problem is that iptables doesn't get updated and I don't see them when iptables -L is executed after reboot.

I'm working on a Soekris net4801 that is running an unknown distro of Linux. The kernel is 2.4.29, and iptables is v1.3.4.
I can't work out how to save the iptables. I searched the whole system for files/folders containing the name "iptables" and got 3 results:
/user/local/lib/iptables
/sbin/iptables
/lib/iptables
I've tried iptables save, iptables-save and iptables save active.
"iptables save" and "iptables save active" give me an invalid argument error. "iptables-save" isn't a valid command. "iptables --help" gives me a list of valid switches, none of which have to do with saving.
how I can save the iptables?

I seem to be having an issue with iptables, every so often the server starts loosing packets and then goes off completley, if I manage to login to ssh I can stop iptables and this resolves the problem, however it keeps doing this. Is it possible to stop anything being added to iptables?

I have just done the upgrade to CentOS 5.4, but it seems that the iptables library libipt_time.so is no longer provided in /lib/iptables in the distribution. The currently installed version is iptables-1.3.5-5.3
I am getting this error message: iptables v1.3.5: Couldn't load match `time':/lib/iptables/libipt_time.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Have the -m time components been moved to another library or removed from iptables? How do I stop iptables from trying to load this non-existent library?

When I try something like, I get:
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -m length --length 39 -m u32 --u32 '27&0x8f=7' --u32 '31=0x527c4833' -j DROP
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
So I re-compiled the kernel enabling WAN Router, and all the subsections. Downloaded latest iptables, removed the RPM one, installed the iptables from source.. Guess what, same error!
PS: iptables -m u32 -h works, it displays a page of info.

I am having difficulties setting up Symmetric NAT through iptables and I hope you can help me with this issue. First things first: "A symmetric NAT is one where all requests from the same internal IP address and port, to a specific destination IP address and port, are mapped to the same external IP address and port.If the same host sends a packet with the same source address and port, but to a different destination, a different mapping is used. Furthermore, only the external host that receives a packet can send a UDP packet back to the internal host."
Need: I am working on a SIP application and SIP apps face a problem with NATed networks. STUN is a solution to such a problem and my SIP application has an embedded STUN client functionality. Scenario and Technical Details:

I'm at my wits end at this point.
CentOS 5
iptables 1.4.1.1
APF 9.7
Webmin 1.4.80 (yes i can be a gui noob at times)
I'm currently running a dedicated server that hosts a couple of sites and runs a game server or two. I was using iptables on its own for a while, but recently I'm a target of all sorts of attacks (typically aimed directly at the gameserver on port 7777. UDP flood attacks, etc). I'm also seeing an spike in foreign spam, SSH brutes, and a few people in Turkey thought it would be cute to download files over and over and over I have decided to start banning entire countries, using the subnets listed here [URL]... I'm trying to block Central and South america (189,190,200,201.x.x.x), China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, Spain and Italy. I do this because a majority of the traffic from those areas are usually up to no good.
I installed APF so I could easily add these ranges in deny_hosts.rules and be done with it. I added the ranges, which turned out to be too many, and the system tanked. I decreased the amount of ranges to just 4:
189.0.0.0/8
190.0.0.0/8
200.0.0.0/8
201.0.0.0/8
Restarted APF and it loaded fine. Do an apf --list and iptables --list and it shows those 4 ranges as blocked. The only issue...I have people from 190.x and 200.x connecting to the gameserver and PLAYING. Its as if the firewall isnt there. Also, adding those ranges to /etc/hosts.deny (or whatever) doesn't block them either.
I add one of my own ips and I get blocked instantly. WTF?? I look in the iptables for webmin, and it shows an empty firewall. I do iptables --list and it shows the ranges I added in APF. I'm looking at building (or whatever its called) an fresh iptables with the geoip module added in. [URL]...
I've never done anything like this, and I don't want to kill the box. I also don't want to spend the effort if 1) something is wrong with my system to begin with and 2) the geoip module doesn't work. geoip module aside....how exactly should i configure the firewall? Empty iptables completely and then rely on APF for everything? Oh and heres another tidbit: I tried this before 2 years ago and it used to be that anything I put in APF would show when i looked at iptables using the webmin module. Thats no longer the case now. That was also on CentOS 4 when it did that. I don't know if moving to 5 is whats preventing it now.
In a nutshell, I'm new at this and I'm being inundated with terrible people trying to do terrible things and I'm ready to just give up. Can someone just give me a quick rundown on:
1) how to test that my firewall is actually firewalling
2) how I should configure the/a firewall on this CentOS5. Not too specific, I just want to know if I should empty iptables then load apf, should i not bother with APF (i like it when it works), is there a specific order of doing things?

I'm trying to redirect the requests from port 80 to ports 8080 and 8081 through iptables because I've got two services which need accept requests from the same port(80):
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080-8081
The problem is that the second port (8081) never gets a request, just the first one.

Loaded up Centos 5.5 final. Configured iptables to block regions of the world based on networks. An example would be:
-A INPUT -s 139.82.0.0/16 -j DROP
My /etc/sysconfig/iptables file contains about 10k entries like this. If I use this, the machine lags hardcore network wise.

I have the requirement that if our website receives 20 or more requests within 60 seconds, to block the offending IP address for 5 minutes, then allow them access again. My only certain mechanism to do this is iptables. I wrote the following series of commands:
iptables -N RATE_CHECK
iptables -N DOSAttack
iptables -N RemoveBlock
[code]...
I am limited in my testing, but the little I have been able to test seems to be having no effect. will the above commands have the desired effect.

I have a fiberoptic broadband 20MB synchronous pipe at my home. Over summer at my place of employment its pretty much dead for 3 months so when I'm not busy I play around on my home server. I have my 20mb pipe going directly into my wrt54gl, from there I have a wired connection going to my server (Centos 5.3 recently upgraded to 5.5 through updates.) It serves as a file server(Samba, SSH). My wrt54gl handles natting port 22 to my server. I have my wireless AP setup to hand out leases from .2-.20 and my server has a static of .100. Dyndns.org handles my name resolution via their free account method.
I have a Mac Pro, iMac, Macbook, and a Toshiba Laptop with 64bit 7 running off wireless along with our cell phones, and my XBOX 360 also is wired directly for the gaming speed. I use all of the computers around my home to access the samba shares via unc path for file sharing and or working on projects. I had originally planned to upgrade the wrt54gl with a cisco e3200 or an e3000 but unfortunately I've come to find out dyndns and the e lines of cisco wireless AP's dont work with dyndns and get banned. So I would have to install the daemon on my server and put it as a directly connected server to my WAN link and install a second ethernet card and pass traffic through my server for the rest of my home which I am not going to do.
All of the previous sentence because it would update dyndns with a 192.168.x.x address since its not directly connected. I use a combination of putty.exe and vnc viewer to tunnel 5900 through port 22 to my server. So from anywhere I am at I can access my screen securely and then rdp or vnc to the desktop of my local LAN computers. This allows me to only have port 22 open. I've been looking at my ssh logs and noticed I have been getting hit alot with ssh scans. I want to implement an iptables firewall on my linux machine just for the purpose of further securing port 22. I dont necessarily need natting on the iptables firewall but all I need is ssh in and out, web in, and samba out to local ip's only.
For SSH this is what I want. I want to allow SSH from any IP but if it tries to login more than 3 times in one minute I want to block that IP for a full minute before it can try 3 more attempts. I also would like log to a file but have been having issues getting that to work as well. That way when I review logs and I see that an ip tries three times and then waits a minute and tries three more, etc... I can permanently block that ip or range of ip's by adding it to the iptables script. Here is my current iptables script and it doesnt seem to be working for me. I have played with this and read for almost two weeks and still cannot get it to work correctly.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# In order to use this iptables firewall script you must have iptables installed. You also must be using a 2.4.x series Kernel, with iptables suppport compiled into it, which is standard for most newer linux distributions.
# If you need help compiling iptables into your kernel, please see our kernel Compile/Upgrade Guide located at [URL]
# Once the script has been edited with all your relevant information (IP's Network Interfaces, etc..) simply make the script executable and run it as root.
# chmod 700 fw_rules.sh
# ./fw_rules.sh .....
# Our final trap. Everything on INPUT goes to the dropwall
# So we don't get silent drops.
$IPT -A INPUT -j dropwall

I have a fresh installation of CentOS 5 I'm using for a server, and I'm having issues with port configuration. I have iptables running, and it started with no /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I added a few basic rules (port 53, port 10000 for webmin), saved the file, and restarted the service. I tried connecting to webmin, scanned ports, and traffic was blocked. I set iptables to allow all traffic and restarted the service, and it still showed basically every port as being blocked. It seems port 80 and port 22 work for some reason, even when I tell iptables to block all ports.
I'm not sure what's going on here. Iptables is reading the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, and if I use lynx localhost:someport it responds as it should according to the file. However, if I try connecting by IP, it's like there's some other firewall or something running that does whatever it's configured to do.....
